Vol. 32Paths and Promises
Pomona and Georgiana faced difficult choices about loyalty, love, and power as their investigations and relationships pulled them in different directions. Georgiana remained at Compiègne, uncertain about Bonaparte and the future, as the Legion of Honour ceremony approached.
- Pomona rejected Lily’s claim that Severus owed James gratitude, then followed Severus to Spinner’s End and urged him to choose his own path.
- Georgiana sent Brick to London with the Vanishing Cabinet, while Pomona refused an Auror’s request to board Lucius Malfoy’s jetliner and left the airport.
- Pomona argued with Severus over his plans and his treatment of Quirrell, then struck him with a book when he pulled her close.
- After Grindelwald’s challenge restored her memories of the Blood Pact, Pomona collapsed the mine with Earth Rend, while Georgiana returned with Saul to confront the captured fanatics.
- Georgiana confronted the treatment of captured Muggles and urged that they be fed, then returned to Compiègne and reunited with Bonaparte.
- Georgiana reflected on death, human vulnerability, and environmental destruction while rejecting a poisonous cake and resisting Bonaparte’s influence.
- Georgiana discussed love and the virtues with Bonaparte, then pursued an art auction with Denon and led Napoleon away after Edgeworth won the Lorrain landscape.
- Bougainville pulled Georgiana from the bath and told her the Legion of Honour ceremony would take place in Hercules Hall because of her.
